Robert Wenzel recently noted just how truly international the Austrian School has become, and that the Mises Institute’s former Fellows are now teaching throughout North America and both Western and Eastern Europe.
Internationalism, incidentally, has been a focus of not only our academic efforts, but of Mises Daily as well, featuring numerous writers from Latin America, Europe, and Japan, just in the last year alone. And, we have two new interviews with Austrians from China coming in the next few weeks.
Wenzel writes, noting that the goal is to erase the distinction between so-called “mainstream” economics and Austrian economics:
My copy of the Festschrift, The Next Generation of Austrian Economics: Essays in Honor of Joseph T. Salerno, just arrived in the mail.
*Philipp Bagus is professor of economics in the Department of Applied Economics I at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain.
I haven’t had a chance to read it yet but one thing struck me in glancing over the essays. In a recentinterview with Jeff Deist, Dr. Salerno stated that he would like to see Austrian economics simply become economics. He wants to see, what is now known as Austrian school economics, become the bedrock of economics in general. A very noble goal.
In a very important way, the Festschrift points to how Dr, Salerno has moved the economics world toward this goal. The Salerno students who contributed to the Festschrift, come from many corners of the globe:
*Simon Bilo is assistant professor of economics at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania.
*David Howden is professor of economics and chair of the Department of Business and Economics at St. Louis University, at their Madrid campus, Madrid Spain.
*Guillaume Vuillemey is a PhD student in economics at Sciences Po, Department of Economics, Paris, France.
*Eduard Braun holds a postdoctoral position to the chair of economics at Clausthal University of Technology, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany.
*Per Bylund is John F. Baugh Center Research Professor in the Department of Entrepreneurship at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
*Marek Hudík is postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Th eoretical Study at Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic.
*Xavier Méra holds a PhD in economics from the University of Angers and teaches at IÉSEG School of Management in Paris, France.
*Mateusz Benedyk is a PhD Candidate at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Wrocław
*Amadeus Gabriel is assistant professor in the Department of Finance and Economics at the La Rochelle Business School, France.
*Mateusz Machaj is assistant professor at the Institute of Economic Sciences at the University of Wroclaw, Wroclaw, Poland.
*Matthew McCaff rey is an assistant professor of enterprise at the University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom.
*J. Patrick Rhamey is assistant professor in the Department of International Studies and Political Science at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia.
518 West Magnolia Avenue remains the epicenter of the present Austrian school, but is wonderful to see the multinational reach of Dr. Salerno, with academics in many parts of the world now teaching with an Austrian perspective.
